Re: -Pard- = feline

Hello

Leo-pard =lion+male panthère

Gué-pard = cheetah = cat panthère

From Latin Pardus = Tiger From Grec Pardalis From Iranian roots (?)

I can't find more IE roots Pard- = feline/panther except Sanskrit Prdakuh

leopard

c.1290, from O.Fr. lebard, leupart, from L.L. leopardus, lit. "lion-pard," from Gk. leopardos, from leon "lion" + pardos "male panther," which generally is said to be connected to Skt. prdakuh "panther, tiger."
